Um Zariq zircons were crystallized at high temperatures relative to Malhaq ones.
Malhaq zircons are from mafic source and Um Zariq zircons imply evolved parent rocks.
Both zircon suites are unaltered magmatic with no hydrothermal or metamorphic effect.
All Um Zariq and most of Malhaq zircons are continental crust zircons.
Peak metamorphic conditions reached at burial depth of 14–16 km.
